DIY French Vegetable Crate


A fun DIY faux french vegetable crate!

I've loved these baskets these for a long time!


I started out with lengths of wood for the sides that came from an old wooden CD holder I found at Goodwill.

I attached wooden shims from Home Depot between the sides.


I lined the wooden crate with chicken wire.

 I added legs, covered the corners with rusty hinges, and voila!

I had the French Vegetable Crate I've always wanted!

But I have to tell you that there are 2 very important secrets to this project...

One was the vinegar and steel wool antiquing I did to the finished crate, and second was the solution that I used to tarnish the shiny chicken wire.
